The Name Behind the Brand

The name comes from a story my grandmother used to read me — The Little Red Hen.

In the story, the hen asks the farm animals if they'd help make bread. One by one, they said "no, we're too busy." When the bread came out of the oven and smelled incredible, the same animals who said no came back asking for a slice. The hen looked at them and said, "No — because you didn't help."

I'd share that story with talent before starting shoots, and every time, they got it immediately: the more you put in, the more you get out.

One day I mentioned the name to a friend — "I really like Hen's Bread" — and here we are. Every project we touch carries that same philosophy. You bring your vision. We bring everything else.

Our Mission

"I want to make video production affordable and accessible — the way it was for me in high school when a great teacher handed me expensive equipment and changed my life. Every business deserves cinematic quality. You shouldn't have to be a Fortune 500 to look like one."

— Jacob Perkins, Founder

Family Owned & Operated

Jacob Perkins — Owner and Producer, Hen's Bread Productions Austin TX

Owner · Producer · Founder Jacob Perkins Jacob is the heartbeat of Hen's Bread Productions. He runs and operates every aspect of the business — from the initial client call to the final color grade. His passion for video production started in high school, where a teacher's generosity with expensive gear lit a fire that's never gone out.

Hen's Bread is 100% family-owned. Behind every project is Jacob's wife, who keeps the business running with emails, client communications, and day-to-day operations. Their daughter — their "beautiful angel" — may one day carry the torch. The dream has always been to build something bigger than one person, something the whole family is proud of.

How We Work

01 Lean on purpose We don't overstaff jobs. Every person on set is there because they're the best person for that role — not to pad an invoice. You get focused, professional attention from start to finish.

02 The more you put in The Little Red Hen philosophy is real here. We go deep in pre-production so nothing is wasted on shoot day. Clients who engage early get the best results — every time.

03 Built for the long run Most of our clients come back. We build relationships, not transactions. When you work with Hen's Bread you're getting a production partner who remembers your brand, your goals, and your story.
